Precinct: A New Kickstarter by Police Quest Creator

Another adventure game veteran has went the Kickstarter route to fund a new adventure game. This time it's Precinct, a new realistic police adventure simulation game by Jim Walls, the former police officer who created the Police Quest series at Sierra.

This new game will have you take up the shoes of officer Maxwell Jones in the corrupt town of Fraser Canyon, CA. You will begin as a rookie and then work your way up the ranks. The Police Quest games were always known for their realism in regards to police procedures and actions, and this game brings the realism up a notch by presenting the game in a first person perspective, blending the Sierra game style with modern technology.

The game can be pre-ordered at the $19 tier, at the $29 tier you will recieve the soundtrack in MP3 format plus VIP access to the game's website where you'll get to see bits of the game as it's being made, for $60 you'll get added to the special thanks section of the credits (plus everything from the lower tiers), at $75 you'll get beta access (plus everything from the lower tiers), and more.

So, if you like Police Quest, or Sierra style adventures in general, pick a tier and become a backer at the Precinct Kickstarter.
